Unable to register TclNotifier window class
OK Tk wizards (hi, /F-bot!)

I'm getting "Unable to register TclNotifier window class".
What does this mean?

Details:
Python 1.5.2b2 on NT SP4

I'm doing a tree control / form style window:
a big frame
another frame, packed 'left' with a Pmw.ScrolledListBox acting as a
tree control.
Then I have three different frames, each holding a "form" for
displaying / editing a particular record type.
When a new item in the tree control is selected, I "pack_forget" (if
the record type has changed) the right hand frame, then "pack" the
appropriate frame and fill the form.

Works dandy for 2 of the three forms. Actually, the problem form
fills properly, too, it just does a St Vitus dance until I kill the
whole app (it appears to be continually re-packing itself). My
console window has the mystery error.

The problem form is the most complex (has the most widgets), but
otherwise they are all clones of each other.

[Talking to myself]

Still don't know what the real problem was, but once I changed it
to keep a reference to a frame I was using for alignment, the problem
went away...
